M/K Heland (M5V), owned by Sevrin Roald, Arne Roald and Olav Røsvik, Vigra.

Built by Einar Helland, Vestnes 1937. 60 foot long, with 85hp Håhjem engine.

The first tour the 'Heland', skippered by one of the owners, Sevrin Roald, made to Shetland during the war, was with two 'Company Linge' agents; Karl Johan Aarsæter and Åsmund Wisløff, in November 1941. The 'Heland', using the false name 'M/K Per', managed to get undamaged through the same hurricane in which the 'Blia' disappeared, and returned to Norway with supplies to other agents. Another agent transport was done in January 1942.

 

On February 27th 1942, the 'Heland' arrived Lunna with 23 refugees. Onboard were: Olaf Håhjem, Johan Hagbart Molnes, Nils Johan Molnes, Sverre Johan Molnes, Harald Peter Ratvik, Arne Ottar Roald, Arnfinn Sevrin Roald, Bjarne Jon Roald, Harald Gunnar Roald, Inga Emilie Roald, Jon Bernt Andersen Roald, Karl Johan Roald, Sevrin Olav Roald, Sverre Normann Roald, Arnfinn Oddmund Roaldsnes, Karl Sigvart Roaldsnes, Arild Rypdal (born 1934), Sylvi Rypdal, Trygve Rypdal (1938), Trygve Stein Rypdal, Jakob Peder Rørvik, Bernt Skodje, and Jakob Skodje.

Trygve Rypdal was the MILORG's district leader in the Ålesund area, he brought with him his wife and two sons.

Sevrin Roald brought his wife, Inga, with him and they both became part of the landcrew in the'Shetland Bus' operation in Scalloway.

The 'Heland' became a 'Shetland Bus Boat', and she made several tours to Norway, mostly skippered by August Nerø, but with other skippers too. There were many narrow escapes, but the vessel always returned safely to Shetland.

In 1943, when the submarine chasers arrived, the 'Heland' became a reserve vessel and did transport tours to Scotland.

When the war ended, the 'Heland' was returned to Norway and became a fishing vessel again. In 1971, it was given to 'Sunnmøre Museum'. The 'Heland' is now preserved as a typical representative fishing vessel of the 'Shetland Bus' fleet.

In 2002 she transported the Norwegian stones for The Shetland Bus Memorial to Scalloway.

========================================================

Henrik Johan Ibsen was a major 19th-century Norwegian playwright, theatre director, and poet. His 3.5 meter statue in front of the Den Nationale Scene (National Theater) in Bergen was created by Nils Aas in 1981 to honour six years that Ibsen lived and worked in Bergen.

========================================================

Nils Sigurd Aas (21 April 1933 – 10 February 2004) was a Norwegian sculptor. [1] He was one of the most prominent artists in modern Norwegian sculpture and is particularly well known for his statue of Haakon VII, located in the June Seventh Square in Oslo, and for designing coins for Norwegian currency, including 10-krone and 20-krone coins.[2]

Contents

 

Nils Sigurd Aas was born in Inderøy, in Nord-Trøndelag County, Norway.

 

He grew up in a family of prominent carpenters and furniture makers. His grandfather (also named Nils Aas) had established a carpentry workshop and water-driven sawmill in Straumen.

 

His father, Ivar Aas, took over the carpentry workshop at the death of the elder Nils Aas in 1927, and eventually won awards for his furniture work.

 

The family also operated a Sunday School out of the same building as the workshop, from 1933-73. Aas' mother Inga Lie was from Telemark and had come to the village in 1928, working for the local parish priest. Ivar and Inga met and married the same year, and the couple had five children: Marit (1929), Signe (1930), Nils (1933), Aslaug (1935) and Arne (1941). In his youth, Nils was an active as ski jumper and athlete.

 

Nils was educated in the family trade of woodworking from an early age, and his earliest preserved work is a wooden sculpture of Bishop Arne Fjellbu, made when Aas was 16 years old.

 

After graduating from secondary school and after a short stint in military service, Aas applied to the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1954 at the age of 21; his older sister, Marit, had started at the school two years earlier.

 

His father marked the occasion by making a suitcase of wood as a farewell gift to the son. Aas studied at the school from 1954–58, notably under Arne Bruland and Ivar Bell.

 

Bell taught Aas calligraphy but ultimately pushed his pupil towards his eventual career as another type of artist, commenting "I think you are three-dimensional"; Aas took the advice and enrolled in sculpture classes the next term. Upon leaving the institute, Nils went on to study under sculptor Nils Flakstad from 1958-1959. At the end of 1959, he accepted work with Per Palle Storm.[3][4]

 

As a student, Aas had various commercial and industry jobs, particularly over his summers, including a stint at an advertising agency, and another as an assistant at the architectural and planning offices in Steinkjer.

 

Advertising did not appeal to him, but the experience in architecture further influenced his concepts for sculpture, particularly those designed for public spaces.

 

In his last term at the National Academy, and for several years following, Aas began to work as an assistant to the abstract sculptor Arnold Haukeland, who would have a substantial impact upon Aas's own style.[4]

 

Aas worked for Haukeland in varying capacities through 1966, at which point Haukeland took on a new assistant and encouraged Aas to develop his own reputation.[5]

 

Through Haukeland, Aas was introduced to the aesthetics of abstract form. He participated in the creation of two of Haukeland's most famous sculptures: Elements Fountain at Bærum Town Hall and Dynamics, a sculpture on the promenade at Sjølyst in Oslo.

 

It was in Haukeland's studio that Aas created his own debut work (titled Torso) for the Autumn Exhibition in Oslo.

Art works

 

Aas's art is featured in numerous public spaces in Norway, and he is represented by important works in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and the Trondheim Kunstmuseum.

 

Aas' work in sculpture spanned several different styles and material bases. His most famous work, a statue of King Haakon VII, located in the June 7 Plaza, is made of clay and plaster and cast in bronze.

 

A statue of Henrik Ibsen in Bergen is made of granite, while several other public decorative works are made in wood.[4] His 10-ton heavy wall decoration Nordisk Lys in the Council of Europe's Council of Ministers building in Strasbourg is made of laminated spruce. It is 16 meters wide and 6 meters high.[6]

 

Several other Aas works were rendered in steel wire and/or paper. Among these are a miniature statue of a horseback rider in steel wire and figures representing Marcus Aurelius, Rallar, and Charlie Chaplin composed of steel wire and copper plate.

 

He is also known for a large number of small sculptures made entirely from paper. A number of other sculptures, often formed to serve as facades to walls, were made entirely from wood.

 

Other statues by Nils Aas include works based on Grete Waitz and Henrik Ibsen. He also created a large number of portrait busts, including works modeled on Einar Gerhardsen, Johan Borgen, Arthur Rubinstein, Håkon Bleken, Harald Sæverud, Jakob Weidemann and Rolf Jacobsen. Aas is also well known as the designer of a number of medals and coins for official treasury or governmental purposes in Norway, most notably the current 10-krone and 20-krone coins.

Personal life

 

In 1959, Aas married painter and illustrator Tonje Strøm, whom he had met at the National Academy. The marriage lasted until 1978 and the couple had two sons. One of their sons, Atle Aas, is an architect and is married to professor Camilla Stoltenberg. In 1996, Aas married for a second time, this time to fellow craftsworker Christine Reintz. Aas died in 2004 at the age of 70.[8][9]

Nils Aas Kunstverksted

Nils Aas Kunstverksted

 

The Nils Aas Kunstverksted (Art Workshop), located in Inderøy, now serves partly as a museum and retains a permanent collection of Aas' work. The building is designed by Aas himself. The most notable piece is a huge circular monument made in birch wood, situated in the centre of the museum. Many of the sculptor's busts of famous Norwegians are also on permanent display. In addition, the museum still features a workshop for art lessons. The facility opened in 1996 and is operated in association with the Stiklestad National Culture Centre.[10]

 

Nearby is a sculpture park, Muustrøparken. Nils Aas had donated eight sculptures to the park, including 6 small and 2 large sculptures.[11]

1.1 NIF HISTORY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NIF HISTORY

NIF was established 1973 (the Helsinki Treaty). In 1987 the organization expanded by taking over the activities of NordForsk (a Nordic government agency for basic research). In the new century the activities of NIF (and BCD) were split up between two new-established organizations: A new NordForsk (basic research) and Nordic Innovation Centre (NICe)(applied research and innovation).

BCD (one of NIF's two divisions) was operational from 1991 to 1999.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.2 BCD BUSINESS IDEA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BCD BUSINESS IDEA

Initialization, expansion and utilization of Nordic and Nordic / international cooperation networks between relevant partners from the private and the public sectors to the benefit of the Nordic countries´ competitiveness and the wealth and health of their inhabitants and based on internordic / international cooperation projects as the primary tool and improved and new concepts, methods, technologies and products as valuable spinoffs.

We often think that cross-border REI activities, regional or global, are the playground for large enterprises as it is often the case. BCD had more than 70% of the largest Nordic enterprises as active project participants.

Very encouraging was the fact that many SMB´s found their way to Nordic REI cooperation.

In NORDIC WOOD as an example 21 carpenter guilds from the following small or mediumzised Danish towns participated in the research: ESBJERG, FREDERICIA, FREDERIKSHAVN, HADERSLEV, HERNING, HILLERØD, HJØRRING, HOLSTEBRO, KOLDING, MARSTAL, NYKØBING FALSTER, ODENSE, RANDERS, ROSKILDE, SILKEBORG, SKIVE, SVENDBORG, SØNDERBORG, ÅBENRÅ, AALBORG / NØRRESUNDBY and ÅRHUS cooperated with large companies such as ABB, AKZO NOBEL, ASSI-DOMÄN, COWI, ENZO-GUTZEIT and IKEA.

Wardruna - Yggdrasil

Indie Recordings

Release date 25th of March 2013 (22.03.13 Norway and G/A)

 

Norwegian heathens Wardruna have completed work on their latest album ‘Yggdrasil’, which is set for release on Indie Recordings on March 25th 2013.

 

Four years has passed since Wardruna enchanted their listeners with their mesmerizing debut album ‘gap var Ginnunga’, which also was the first part of a planned trilogy. In the ensuing years the group have spent a lot of time on adapting their music to a live format and establishing a live band. This resulting in a handful of very special concerts, perhaps most notably when they performed in front of the majestic 1100-year-old Gokstad ship at the Viking Ship Museum in Norway.

 

With the use of the oldest of Nordic instruments and poetic metres as well as lyrics written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue, Wardruna is now, after nearly three years in the making, finally ready to return with the second album in the ‘Runaljod’ trilogy entitled ‘Yggdrasil’. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Einar Kvitrafn Selvik has, together with vocalists Kristian Espedal (aka Gaahl) and Lindy-Fay Hella, managed to make ​​a strikingly beautiful and intense continuation of what was started with their first album, but without falling into the trap of merely repeating themselves. ‘Yggdrasil’ is also graced with guest appearances by renowned Icelandic composer Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and Iceland’s leading rímur singer Steindór Andersen.

 

The ongoing ‘Runaljod’ trilogy is a musical rendition of the 24 runes in what is often referred to as the elder futhark. Some of the recordings are done outdoors in places or under circumstances of significance to each rune. Wardruna primarily use old and historical instruments such as primitive deer-hide frame drums, Kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn, lur and more. Non-traditional instruments and other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and torches are also used.

 

All of these elements are carefully woven into a rich musical landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs. Although Wardruna’s music share characteristics with music typically labeled as folk, world and/or ambient, none of these genres can really describe their unique style. It truly must be experienced.

 

‘Yggdrasil’ was written and recorded by Kvitrafn from spring 2010 to winter 2012 at his own Fimbulljóð studio and various outdoor locations.

On June 1922 King Vittorio Emanuele III (Victor Emanuel III) and his wife, Queen Elena of Montenegro, visited King Christian X and Denmark in a three day official visit. The main event was the laying of the foundation stone of a new monument dedicated to Dante Alighieri at Dante's Square, in Copenhagen. During these days they also visited the Museum Thorwaldsen (dedicated to the well known sculptor who lived all his life in Italy), the Copenhagen Town Hall and the Hermitage.

In the photo you can see King Victor Emmanuel III on the left and King Christian X on the right. Behind them there are some Danish Royal Life Guards.

Date: June 1922.

  

About Dantes Plads:

Dantes Plads is a public square located in front of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek where it connects H. C. Andersens Boulevard to Vester Voldgade in central Copenhagen. In 1921, it was decided to mark the 600-years anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death with a monument. Some Danish expats in Rome raised money for the monument which was designed by the sculptor Einar Utzon-Frank in collaboration with the architect Carl Brummer. It consists of a bronze statue of Beatrice mounted on the top of an antique column which was a gift from the city of Rome.

The drawing for the pedestal was supplied by architect Gunnar Biilman Petersen, while a bronze plate depicting the poet was made by the Italian sculptor SL Andreotti. The portrait was a gift from the city of Florence.

The laying of the foundation stone took place on 23 June 1922 and it was completed on August 1924.

WARDRUNA: Norwegian Folk Ensemble Issues Special Yggdrasil Digibook In North America Via Indie Recordings; Einar Kvitrafn Selvik To Appear In History Channel's Vikings Series

   

Initially released in 2014, Yggdrasil is the second release of the stunning Runaljod trilogy from Norwegian heathens, WARDRUNA.

 

The ongoing Runaljod trilogy, which began with 2009's Gap Var Ginnunga, is a musical rendition of the twenty-four runes in what is often referred to as the "elder futhark." Some of the oldest of Nordic instruments such as primitive deer-hide frame drums, kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn and lur are implemented, while poetic metres and lyrics are written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue. Some of the recordings are captured outdoors or under circumstances of significance to each rune while other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and torches are used. All of these elements are carefully woven into a rich musical landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs.

 

With Yggdrasil, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Einar Kvitrafn Selvik has, together with vocalists Kristian Espedal (aka Gaahl) and Lindy-Fay Hella, managed to create a strikingly beautiful and intense continuation of what was started with their first album, but without falling into the trap of merely repeating themselves. Yggdrasil is also graced with guest appearances by renowned Icelandic composer Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and Iceland's leading rímur singer Steindór Andersen.

 

Yggdrasil was written and recorded by Kvitrafn from Spring 2010 to Winter 2012 at his own Fimbulljóð studio and various outdoor locations and will be made available for the first time in CD-digibook format via Indie Recordings on February 24th, 2014. The Yggdrasil digibook is the only version where you can find complete lyrics with English translations as well text on the runes. Order your copy today at THIS LOCATION.

 

In related news, Kvitrafn will appear in History Channel's Vikings series. Vikings is inspired by the sagas of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the best-known mythological Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of England and France. It portrays Ragnar as a former farmer who rises to fame by successful raids into England with the support of his family and fellow warriors: his brother Rollo, his son Bjorn, and his wives-the shieldmaiden Lagertha and the princess Aslaug. WARDRUNA's music has appeared widely in the series previously, and will also be found extensively in the series' forthcoming season. Kvitrafn will appear in the third season, which is scheduled to air on February 19th, 2015.

 

"I really enjoy being a part of the musical artillery of the series and I was truly honored when production asked me if I was interested in making a small musical appearance in front of the camera as well," Kvitrafn elaborates. "The production, director and actors was all very welcoming and so it was all in all a great experience for me! Before the first season was premiered," he continues, "I was contacted by the production team because they wanted to license some songs. They were very pleased with how the music worked out and what it contributed to the show so they got in touch again for season two where they in addition to using WARDRUNA music asked if I would be interested in working together with the series' award-winning composer, Trevor Morris. So we tried it and we all liked how it worked and we have continued our collaboration onto the score of the third season that premieres next week. It is great fun to be part of this and I've learn a lot from it. Even though the series, for several reasons, cannot create everything one-hundred-percent authentic they do have a genuine desire to do as much as they can to create a more nuanced and correct view on the Vikings and they constantly hunt for authentic details to include. It's no secret that I am a Nordic-history nerd of giant proportions - therefore it is very pleasing when they ask me for such details from time to time."

 

"Yggdrasil lives up to its name - that of the giant tree central to Norse mythology - by stretching out into both darkness and light, a musical ying and yang, like branches creeping into sunlight as they grow up out of a shadowy forest. - The Quietus

 

"...something quite remarkable, and nothing quite like you've heard before." -- Echoes And Dust

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Aksel (Axel) Einar (Ejnar) Utzon-Frank (30 March 1888 – 15 July 1955) was a Danish sculptor and professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. During his lifetime, he produced a large number of sculptures, many of which stand as public monuments. He was the uncle of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jørn Utzon.

 

Einar Utzon-Frank was born in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen in 1888, the son of Jens Christian Frank and Anna Cathrine Utzon.

Utzon-Frank began his artistic life as a painter but changed direction to become a sculptor. He was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1906, where he became a close friend of the somewhat older Kai Nielsen. However, the two friends followed diverging paths through their creative careers, with Nielsen following a lush modernism in contrast to Utzon-Frank's clear, cool classical style which follows the tradition of Bertel Thorvaldsen.

From 1912 to 1913 Utzen-Frank travelled around Europe, visiting Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Florence, Rome, Naples, Paestum, Paris and later Italy, Greece and England, and many of the classical influences from his travels are evident in his work.

 

In 1918 at the age of 30, he was appointed a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen, a post in which he remained until 1955.[3] In his teaching, he laid emphasis on solid craftsmanship skills. He was a teacher and educator of great importance and came to dominate several generations of sculptors, including Henry Heerup, Sigrid Lütken, Janus Kamban, Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen, Gestur Þorgrímsson and Douglas Bisset.

 

He married Gerda Harriet Margrete Christensen on 4 December 1908.[5] Their daughter Grete Utzon Frank was born on 8 February 1909 in Copenhagen, and she married painter and author William Flemming Bergsøe on 21 March 1930. (Wikipedia)

The ongoing ‘Runaljod’ trilogy is a musical rendition of the 24 runes in what is often referred to as the elder futhark. Some of the recordings are done outdoors in places or under circumstances of significance to each rune. Wardruna primarily use old and historical instruments such as primitive deer-hide frame drums, Kraviklyra, tagelharpe, mouth harp, goat horn, lur and more. Non-traditional instruments and other sources of sound like trees, rocks, water and torches are also used.

 

All of these elements are carefully woven into a rich musical landscape and complemented with whispering voices, melodic song and mighty choirs. Although Wardruna’s music share characteristics with music typically labeled as folk, world and/or ambient, none of these genres can really describe their unique style. It truly must be experienced.

 

‘Yggdrasil’ was written and recorded by Kvitrafn from spring 2010 to winter 2012 at his own Fimbulljóð studio and various outdoor locations.

Wardruna - Yggdrasil

Indie Recordings

Release date 25th of March 2013 (22.03.13 Norway and G/A)

 

Norwegian heathens Wardruna have completed work on their latest album ‘Yggdrasil’, which is set for release on Indie Recordings on March 25th 2013.

 

Four years has passed since Wardruna enchanted their listeners with their mesmerizing debut album ‘gap var Ginnunga’, which also was the first part of a planned trilogy. In the ensuing years the group have spent a lot of time on adapting their music to a live format and establishing a live band. This resulting in a handful of very special concerts, perhaps most notably when they performed in front of the majestic 1100-year-old Gokstad ship at the Viking Ship Museum in Norway.

 

With the use of the oldest of Nordic instruments and poetic metres as well as lyrics written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue, Wardruna is now, after nearly three years in the making, finally ready to return with the second album in the ‘Runaljod’ trilogy entitled ‘Yggdrasil’.
